The next day, Melanie returned to Harbor City with her mother.Stephen's first-quarter endorsement advertisement had officially begun shooting.Melanie had coordinated with Stephen's management team in advance, and once everything was confirmed, she assigned two planners from the Perfume Division to oversee the process. Meanwhile, she settled into her office to prepare for the upcoming fragrance competition.In the evening, a housekeeper from Marina Heights called. "Madam, will you be coming home for dinner tonight?"Melanie took a moment to respond. "Is Uncle Jeffrey at home?""Yes, Master has returned. If you come back for dinner, he will wait for you to join him," the servant promptly replied.Melanie's heart skipped a beat.It had been a while since she had received such an invitation. Someone was waiting for her at home to have dinner together.A tingling sensation filled her heart. Thinking about the pearl crown he had given her mother, she decided to go back and persona
“Are you mocking me?” Vivian asked, horrified that she had been humiliated in public. She was determined to be unreasonable.“Not at all. I'm just discussing the matter at hand,” Melanie calmly responded. “The plan was fine before signing the contract, and if issues arise during the shoot, it's not our fault.”Vivian looked at Melanie angrily. "Are you trying to threaten me with the contract?""If Miss Fletcher doesn't value the contract, then I'm afraid we won't be able to work together," Melanie replied, undeterred."I won't do the shoot, that's final!" Vivian's voice was sharp and petulant. "After all, it's your project that will be delayed!"Seeing Vivian's unreasonable behavior, Taylor and the other Jones Enterprise staff were getting anxious, but Melanie signaled them not to be fooled. She had her way of handling things.“If you don't do the shoot, it won't just delay our project, but also Stephen’s,” Melanie confidently stated.“Stop bringing up Stephen! He and I are fell
Melanie felt her heart stop.Jeffrey had flirted with her in public.The people around them did not hear Jeffrey's comment, thinking he was threatening Melanie because she lowered her head after just one sentence.Jeffrey's lips curved into an imperceptible smile, then he turned to look at the staff present. "What's going on here?""President Morgan, it's like this. I feel that the advertising proposal isn't good enough, so I... just offered a small suggestion," Vivian spoke tactfully in front of Jeffrey, maintaining a good sense of propriety.Jeffrey stared coldly at her. "Who are you?"Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Did President Morgan not recognize Vivian?Then, what about the boasts she had made earlier about being highly regarded by the Morgan Group and being Jeffrey's rumored girlfriend? Something was not right here…Vivian endured her discomfort, pretending not to hear the snickering around her. She forced a smile and then attempted to introduce herself. "P
“Melanie, here we are again.”Grant was the first to speak.Grace followed with a sneer. "Yeah, here we are again. It seems fate has brought us together."Melanie's lips moved slightly. "Whether it's fate or not, you know better than I do."The filming director and scriptwriter in the car were coordinating the recording process. Melanie engaged with the staff to discuss the details. Grant wanted to interrupt but could not find the opportunity, and Grace, on the other side, kept making faces, but Melanie chose to ignore her."Miss Melanie, originally, you were scheduled to be the female guide for this trip to Azure City. However, Lady Grace was added later, so the explanation portion for cultural and scenic spots may need to be divided between the two of you.""We have already prepared the script, rest assured. You can prioritize selecting popular attractions when the time comes."Melanie nodded with indifference.Whether it was a priority or not, she did not care. The city prom
"That person... looks a lot like Stephen, but it doesn’t seem to be him either. He has a much more noble demeanor." Grace’s eyes sparkled.The butler looked in the direction Grace was staring and said in surprise, "I didn't expect Jeffrey to come too.""You mean he’s the head of the Morgan family?"Grace's eyes brightened even more. "Didn't they say he was disabled?""It is said that he has been cured recently. At the international financial forum a few days ago, he has shown himself to be healthy," the butler said.Grace pursed her lips and smiled slyly. "Dad has always wanted me to get close to the Fowler or the Morgan family, but Stephen is a playboy, and Grant is a coward. Neither of them is worthy of me. Jeffrey, on the other hand, looks pretty good...""Jeffrey has the ability and ambition, miss. He might not be easy for someone as innocent as you to handle," the butler kindly reminded.Grace raised an eyebrow and widened her eyes in dissatisfaction. "Ever since I was a ch
"Go!""Come on!"The onlookers began to cheer and shout.Grace, pretending to be fragile, lay on Jeffrey's back. As soon as he started running, she began to exclaim, "President Morgan, slow down. I'm afraid..."Indeed, she knew who he was, indicating that the duke’s family was very well-informed.Jeffrey's face darkened. He felt so foolish carrying this annoying woman to take embroidered balls. He couldn't fathom why he had made such an impulsive and stupid decision just moments ago.What a waste of his time!At the thought of this, they had already arrived at where the baskets of embroidered calls were. Grace’s sharp voice continued to ring in his ears. "President Morgan, you're amazing! We're so fast!""Even lower, President Morgan. If you go down lower, I'll be able to grab the ball!"Jeffrey gritted his teeth, feeling irritated by the woman's constant screams. He suddenly loosened his grip, and she tumbled into the basket in front of them.A wave of gasps echoed around th
Jeffrey glared at Grant with dark eyes. He was carrying his own wife! It was none of Grant’s business!However, Grant was not afraid of his threat at all and continued to show concern for Melanie. "I just so happen to have brought an ointment for bruises. I will give it to you later.""Thank you. I'm fine." Melanie smiled lightly.Jeffrey's face was grim. Grant, this brat, actually dared to flirt with his wife in front of him, and not just once!He wanted to go over and pull her toward her, but the film crew recognized him and immediately gathered around him. "President Morgan? You’re here? Why didn't you tell us in advance? We were not prepared at all..."William saw that Jeffrey’s face was getting more and more grim, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "President Morgan intends to invest in the shooting of this promotional video for the city.""Really? That's great!"Everyone in the film crew beamed with joy. "This way we will have more funds! Thank you for
Melanie sat at the end of the bed. Her racing heart trembled as she was caught off guard.Jeffrey, this aloof big shot, always managed to surprise her with his gentleness when she least expected it."Aren't you busy? Why are you still daydreaming?" Jeffrey, with his eyes closed, suddenly asked, startling Melanie. She quickly grabbed her script and hurried to the living room to continue memorizing, fearing that he might change his mind at any moment.It wasn't until she finished memorizing the entire script that she stretched lazily. Jeffrey was already fast asleep on the floor, and Melanie quietly covered him with a blanket before leaving the room to wash her face and do her nighttime skincare routine in the makeup room.On the same floor, another hotel room had been temporarily converted into a makeup room for the entire film crew to share.When Melanie entered, she was surprised to find that Grace was also there.It was already so late. Was she also rehearsing her script in her
